Re: Calling all Merc Mechanics
If it was me, I would go down to the auto parts store and buy one of those cheap pocket thermometers that you can use for A/C work(but they read up to 220). Put that up next to the heads and see if they're actually running hot.

Re: Calling all Merc Mechanics
That is a good call. I will be checking everything I can before I take off the heads.

Re: Calling all Merc Mechanics
SUCCESS!!!!!!!!
I guess a new waterpump is what it needed. I just ran it for 30 minutes on the hose and no warning buzzer. I don't know if its because of the new waterpump pumping stronger or because of all the beating I did with the rubber hammer before I found the last bolt holding the gearcase on, but a bunch of sand came out of the motor while running it. I would say it was a good handfull. Man am I relieved.
